The nurse teaches a class on the systems that control blood pressure and includes what systems in the discussion? (Select all that apply.)
A) The capacitance system
B) Aldosterone–antidiuretic hormone (ADH) system
C) Difference between the systolic and the diastolic readings
D) Stimulus from the sympathetic system
E) Reflex control of blood volume
B, D, E
Feedback:
Blood pressure is maintained by stimulus from the sympathetic system and reflex control of blood volume and pressure by the renin–angiotensin system and the aldosterone–ADH system. The difference between the systolic and the diastolic readings does nothing to control blood pressure. The capacitance system does not regulate blood pressure.
